Dr. John Lovell leads the Evolutionary Analysis Group at the HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Before joining HudsonAlpha in 2017, he completed a PhD on the quantitative genetics of drought adaptation in the McKay Lab at Colorado State in 2013. He also completed a postdoc in Tim Sharbel’s group at IPK-Gatersleben on plant developmental biology, and was an NSF plant genome fellow in Tom Juenger’s group at UT Austin from 2014-2017. His research at HudsonAlpha works towards using genomics to better understand biological systems. Currently, his projects are mainly directed at accelerating crop improvement efforts through genomics and using comparative methods to better define candidate genes for agronomically important traits. Dr. Lovell works remotely and lives in Denver, Colorado.
